i didn´told you this before because it happened yesterday the firts
time ;)

Anyway, it´s working again! Damn this K5 is really a kind of it´s own.
First i can´t access the multis, after selecting another PGM in
midiwindow a few times and after hitting a few keys..it´s working now
again.. in fact i forgot to set protect to on again ..i guess thats
why it was going crazy. What was it at your unit? Didn´t it work for
you already then? Well mine works fine now again.. the question is how
long ;)

I don´t know if i understand this thing with the battery correctly. 
( i am german - my english is not the best sometimes- sorry ) ... But
i guess you mean to take the battery out of the unit to and then power
the k5 on to clear a kind of ram storage, right ???


Note: Please send me personal emails that often - only if they are
really fo my ears only. I am hotmail - and since i get a lot of spamv
mails i don´t look that often intoo that mailbox there. Anyway info
like this is maybe helpful for others too. But thanx for your support

Thanx i will try that. My backlight is dead again since 2 days. A few
days ago it was really strange. The light turned on and out several
times in a minute. Does anyone here had same porblems?

Eeprom

thanx
